Surrender takes place in a future where a global machine intelligence manages our climate disaster. While a tech company works to harvest every citizen’s thoughts, a secret band of resisters struggles to keep human thought safe and free. Lee lives in Santa Monica, CA with his family. Lee Schneider and Ever Gonzalez are the founders of FutureX.Studio. https://futurex.studio⁠ Futurex.Studio is a media platform for generating dialogue and building a community around science fiction projects that imagine a positive view of the future. Every project we support asks, “What would the future of a just world look like?” Science fiction storytelling is often dystopian. This dystopian view is valuable because it helps us see how not to proceed into the future and shows how we have failed. But storytelling focused on imagining social change must also ask what a just future would look like. FutureX.Studio exists to ask how technology can be our ally, and how future visions may be shaped to help us envision gender and racial equality and social and environmental justice.
